Here's an interesting question...
...is the number 0 odd or even? Now there are various ways you can approach this question. If you go back a year or so, I was arguing that zero is not a number - it is in fact the essence of a lack of number, so on that basis 0 is neither odd nor even. But then... one definition of an even number is a number which is exactly divisible by two. Well 0 divided by two is 0. Then again, another definition of an even number is a number which ends in 2,4,6,8 or 0 - and 0 fits that bill. So you could argue that 0 is an even number. Does it matter? Do me a favour!
